The actress tied the knot with Cho in September 2017. Just four months later, in January 2018, they welcomed their son.

Cho, who has been in the restaurant industry since his 20s, successfully launched several businesses, including “Yeongcheon Yeonghwa” and “Palchak Makchang,” earning him the nickname “Little Baek Jong Won.” He even founded a salad brand named “Saladyoung,” inspired by Lee Si Young herself.

Meanwhile, Lee made her acting debut in 2008 with the K-Drama Urban Ghost Story: Déjà Vu Season 3. She later gained attention for her roles in Boys Over Flowers (2009) and the reality show We Got Married. In recent years, she has seen a resurgence in popularity through Netflix’s Sweet Home series, which aired from 2020 to 2024.
